REFERENCE DEPARTMENT- (619) 260-4765

The Reference Department is located on the main floor of Copley Library, across from the Access Services desk. Reference librarians provide research assistance to students by helping them formulate research strategies and locate suitable information resources, and they offer instruction in the use of all library resources, whether print, electronic, microform or audio-visual. The Reference Department staff is comprised of five librarians and one staff member, each with expertise in variety of subject areas. They are available most hours the library is open and by appointment. A student needing advanced research assistance is encouraged to contact a Subject Area Specialist.
